Feeling pretty darn good

Today I talked with my mother about my need to lose weight. I told her how important it is to me and how I want to encourage her as well. I am glad my mom is so supportive!!!

On another note. My gym buddy and I have truly decided to join MINT. While its not cheap, I am willing to take cuts elsewhere for fitness. All that other stuff won't matter if I can't be healthy and able to do them.

I talked with my "friend" or whatever he is last night about my weight. He is very supportive but is not pushing me. Thank goodness!!! I have been in relationships where guys get on my last nerve about my weight. I don't know why some people think that if you nag someone long enough they will eventually do it. Weight loss is an individual battle and having someone hound you(at least in my opinion) does not help. Be supportive but not pushy. Eventually the vast majority of people.reaches a breaking point where you just decide...this is it! I have to lose weight.

Thought of the day: Support goes a long way.
